My recent discovery is about steel cut oats, yes a very good friend mentioned about this to me, she has been sourcing from abroad but now since everything is very much available in India, I could procure it easily with no difficulties.
Personally speaking I dont prefer the bland nature of oats and hence I resort making dosas/pancakes/crepes with it with different combinations otherwise a porridge using milk and sugar. Once can always substitute sugar with natural sweeteners like fresh fruits or dry fruits but when I planned on using this oats I had loads of buttermilk in my kitchen, hence tried this way. Recipe follows
Ingredients
Steel cut oats - 1/2 cup
Water- 1 1/2 cup
Buttermilk - 2 cups
Cucumber - 2
Carrots - 2
Bird eye chillies - 3- 5
Basil leaves
Salt and pepper
Method
Place the water in a sauce pan and let it boil and add the oats into the boiling water. Keep stirring and cook the oats for around 5-7 minutes and remove from fire. Pour in the buttermilk , chop in the carrots and cucumber and slightly mashed or well mashed chillies and also tear in the basil leaves into it . Add salt and pepper to your taste. If you wish you may avoid pepper and its done!
And I vouch its tasty for your tongue and easy on your tummy
Enjoy!
